In short: challenging course, incredible organisation, brilliant !In full: I had only done major maras and a few other big ones before and did not know what to expect on a 300 entry event, thinking it may be low key and I would be running remotely - what an incredible surprise from beforehand with what was excellent pre-race information and communications, to the day with the perfect and friendly organisation, a great atmosphere between all runners (I ran and chatted with so many), the marshalling and course signage was amazing, there were so many refreshment (water/orange/coke/food !) stops, great support from all of the villages on route, and a free hog roast and beer afterwards. The course was a bit more hilly than I expected so maybe not PB potential for softies like me but was very scenic every step of the way. This is a 'must-do' event and I would mark it 100% plus on all counts. Thank you Gillingham Trotters, you are an example for all other clubs to learn from.Date of review: May 6, 2015

In short: Excellent, how all should be !In full: I've done a lot of 10ks and this one is 5-star - Plenty of car parking, excellent friendly efficient organising, scenic, mildly undulating course (hill at 8 was very short so don't know why this gets mentioned so much !),cheering happy marshals, great t-shirt and goodies, tremendous value-for-money - top marks to Tadley RunnersDate of review: July 6, 2014

In short: traffic free, quick course, excellent organisationIn full: top quality & friendly organisation, quick smooth wide course, dead cert PB potential, traffic free, easy access & parking, good loos and refreshments, more-or-less flat, 'scenic' in being greenish and 'special GP Circuit' backdrop, friendly marshals and good support from spectators, lovely medal, even the weather settled for the race, what more can be said except top marks all round + see you again next year...Date of review: May 10, 2012

In short: Enjoyable course - some organisational issues !In full: Undulating but not too scary course - very scenic traffic free course. Start/Finish ares good ...but certainly some organisational issues that need firmer control - 'non arrival?" of portaloos delayed start by 15mins with communication to waiting/anxious runners poor; bad signage around school of registration/baggage areas; water stops a bit muddled at times; long walk from car park; basic medal/water ..been getting used to goodie bags elsewhere lately !; course may not of needed too many marshals but sadly only about 1 in 5 of them seemed cheerful/attentive/supportive - had expected more of BJ's ! Am sure they can sort these niggles for next time ...Date of review: August 22, 2011

In short: excellent & friendly organisation, everyone friendlchallenging but deceptively quick course in beautiful setting, series only recently started but will surely grow in numbers, plenty of parking alongside start/finish with cafeteria & loos - top marksDate of review: June 10, 2011

In short: Pretty good but a few issues !In full: Good atmosphere and reasonable organisation - starter was rambling on and then someone at the back shouted go and we seemed to be starting ! No 'layering' of expected times at the start so conjested and very slow first k which ruined many PB chances - nearly impaled on some posts that could have been better marked - friendly marshals but could have managed traffic and runners better - runners seemed to dangerously swarm across and back over some main roads in a few places with no control - tough hill after 5k but pleasant couse taking in Wimbledon Village - water stop undermanned and in too narrow a path - not really fully a road race as some parts across trail and grass - great goody bag and organisation at end and prompt prizegiving - impressive times by winners - road signs seem to be left for the day around the course !! Despite all that would still recommend as an enjoyable event !Date of review: March 1, 2011

In short: my first half and much enjoyed, very well organised and friendly, couse good and plenty scenic with a few demanding rises and falls, top marks and hope to be back next timeDate of review: February 15, 2011
